Known as the Cherry Capital of the World, Traverse City is an economic and tourism hot-spot in the northwestern lower peninsula of Michigan. Located at the base of West Grand Traverse Bay, Traverse City’s mild climate and sandy beaches have made it a vibrant and popular place to live, work and play for generations. During the spring of 2005, the decommissioning and deconstruction of the city’s power station returned a significant portion of the waterfront to open space. This newly acquired open space garnered significant attention from residents and city officials. While the area is a great location for a park or other pedestrian-oriented space, Grandview Parkway, the main east-west connector through the city, creates a physical and psychological barrier to accessibility between the downtown and the waterfront. In an attempt to create a safe and enjoyable pedestrian connection that draws visitors back and forth between the waterfront and downtown, this Character Study was developed to assist the city. Public participation, site visits, historical research, and land-use evaluations were used to better understand the tangible and intangible qualities of Traverse City that combine to produce its unique personality. Information gathered during the Character Study process was then used to identify specific areas within the downtown core to concentrate on as key downtown-to-waterfront transition areas. Recommendations and suggestions are also included in an effort to enhance and maintain Traverse City character for future residents and visitors.Made available in Deep Blue on 21-Apr-2006 14:38:14 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "Traverse City 2006.pdf" Previous issue date: 2006-04-01Master of Landscape ArchitectureNatural Resources and EnvironmentUniversity of Michigan, School of Natural Resources and Environmenthttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/35326/2/Traverse City 2006.pdf1929 bytes11865932 bytestext/plainapplication/pdfen_USAcross Grandview Parkway: Strengthening the Connection between the Downtown and the BayProjectNatural Resources and EnvironmentScienceoai:deepblue.lib.umich.edu:2027.42/353272006-05-18T11:14:24Zcom_2027.42_13913col_2027.42_39366col_2027.42_35325Bertaina, StephanieBoetsch, AldenKelly, EmilyKrane, EirinMitchell, JessicaSpalding, ElizabethStout, MatthewVankat, AndrewYaffee, StevenAnn Arbor2006-04-21T14:38:19Z2006-04-21T14:38:19Z2006-04-01129http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/35327ABSTRACT
This report examines collaborative planning within the context of state trust lands. By
analyzing eight case studies, the report aims to inform trust land agencies, local
communities and other interested parties about the benefits, costs, challenges, facilitating factors and lessons learned associated with these collaborative planning efforts. The report concludes with a look ahead to future collaborative planning opportunities on state trust lands, providing a set of best management practices and recommendations for overcoming
barriers to this trust land management approach.
State trust lands are a category of land distinct from traditional state and federal public land. These lands were granted to states by the federal government upon statehood to support specific beneficiaries, including public schools. As a result, state trust lands are held in perpetual, intergenerational trust with the state acting as trustee. The state thus has a specific legal responsibility, known as a fiduciary duty, to conscientiously manage these lands for the designated beneficiaries. Today, there are approximately 46 million acres of state trust lands in the continental United States, mostly concentrated west of the Mississippi River. States historically have managed trust lands to generate revenue, primarily from natural-resource
based activities. In recent years, rapid urbanization coupled with growing public interest in recreation opportunities, wildlife habitat, open space and ecosystem services have imposed new pressures on state trust lands in the West. These changes have provided new sources of revenue and created conflict over trust land management decisions. In response, some states
have explored new ways to plan and manage state trust lands. With its promise of reducing conflict, creating mutual gains, minimizing poorly-planned development, creating flexible strategies and producing durable solutions, collaborative planning has been one approach that states have taken to balance their fiduciary duty with other interests. To examine the experience of collaborative planning on state trust lands, the research team selected eight cases from a larger pool of identified processes. These cases span seven western states and represent a range of issues, including land use planning, land management for oil, gas and ranching practices, open space conservation and forestry and watershed
management. The cases also vary in the impetus for collaboration, size of trust land parcel(s) examined, level of completion of the process and scope of the outcome. To develop the case studies, researchers conducted on-site and telephone interviews of participants and studied the technical, legal and political issues involved in the case.
A comprehensive cross-case analysis, informed by an extensive literature review, provided
answers to several common questions about collaborative planning on state trust lands. First,
in regards to what makes a process “collaborative,” the research showed that the breadth of
stakeholders involved in the process affects the durability of the solution. Processes that were
internally and externally transparent enjoyed low levels of public scrutiny and controversy.
Most participants believed that they had influence over decision making and the outcome,although state trust land agencies did not give up their decision-making authority.
Second, the research identified a number of factors that motivate and sustain collaborative
planning on state trust lands. A sense of threat motivated most of the cases. Other reasons for
T
iv
pursuing collaboration included a sense of place, a set of common goals and public pressure.
Participants joined collaborative processes because of a professional or personal interest or
because of a direct financial stake. The researchers found that career changes and process
restrictions, such as an advisory committee charter, were the main barriers to sustaining
collaboration. Factors that maintained collaboration included financial incentives, investment
in the process, leadership and lack of attractive alternatives.
Third, the research identified a variety of benefits and costs of collaborative planning on state
trust lands. The primary benefits of collaboration included an increase in the value of the
trust, an improvement in the natural environment and/or urban environment and a higher
quality solution in terms of durability, creativity and the incorporation of science and outside
knowledge. Secondary benefits included new and improved relationships, greater
understanding and public awareness of state trust lands and better state and federal agency
coordination. Costs associated with the process included direct planning costs, opportunity
costs, periods of poor public relations and personal and emotional costs. In one case,
participants identified a reduction in the value of the trust asset as a cost, whereas in another
case, participants identified a potential loss of environmental protection as a cost. While
benefits and costs were not quantified in each case, the majority of participants interviewed
in each case study said they thought the process was successful or that they would
collaborate again in the future.
Fourth, the research addressed how legal constraints affect collaborative planning on state
trust lands. In some cases, the trust mandate empowered stakeholder groups and, in others,
created a division between the trust land agency and other participants. The clarity and
flexibility of the mandate influenced participation, allocation of decision-making power and
group dynamics. External legal constraints like federal and state laws posed a challenge for
some cases by introducing new timelines and constraints, and served as a facilitating factor
for others by keeping people at the table. Many of the cases strategically used the law to
initiate or influence the process, define issues, create options or shape the final outcome.
Several participants mentioned that collaboration is easier in the state trust land context than
other natural resource contexts because trust land agencies are afforded greater legal
flexibility than other agencies.
Fifth, the research showed how agency structure, culture and politics affect collaborative
planning. Access to the state land board, changes in agency institutional structure and land
commissioner term limitations were some of the structural elements that influenced the
processes. Cultural factors that influenced the process included trust land agency interaction
with communities and other agencies, integration of collaboration with agency operating
procedures, concern about abdication of decision-making power and uncertainty about
accepting help from outside sources. Politics affected the process either as a means to gain
influence over decision making or to impede or facilitate the process.
Sixth, in regards to how to structure an effective collaborative process, the research showed
that process structure, decision making and management are important. Process elements
included deciding upon process design, dealing with representation and participation,
defining roles and responsibilities and organizing subcommittees or task forces. Key steps for
v
addressing decision making were setting ground rules and establishing decision rules. Setting
objectives and timelines, conducting activities that build understanding and coordinating with
other state and federal processes were important strategies for effectively managing the
process.
Seventh, the research addressed how leadership and facilitation affect collaboration. Official
and unofficial leaders helped guide, inspire or represent others. These leaders often, but not
always, benefited the process. Professional or internal facilitators in many cases proved to be
invaluable resources that assisted the groups in running meetings, communicating and
making decisions.
Eighth, the research showed how interpersonal dynamics influence collaborative planning on
state trust lands. Positive relationships among stakeholders helped facilitate progress,
provided an incentive to stay involved, fostered respect and built a greater understanding of
the issues. Several participants observed that the collaborative process improved
relationships and anticipated that these relationships would help with implementing the
planning outcome and addressing future resource management issues. Many groups achieved
a more even distribution of power by consensus decision making. Power imbalances did
arise, but in most cases they did not prevent the groups from achieving their goals.
Finally, the research addressed how collaborative planning processes incorporate scientific
information. In many of the cases in this report, science had a significant influence on the
process, whether scientific and technical information was explicitly central to the process or
became an important tool along the way. The origin of this information impacted the process
through strengthening group relationships or increasing the perception of the legitimacy of
information. In some cases, science acted as a major facilitating factor to informed decision
making while in other cases, the lack of information or the uncertainty of information
significantly delayed the process. Incorporating science and technical information into the
process often influenced the process structure and could act as a significant resource drain on participants who produced such information. While science influenced the process,collaborative processes also determined what science was gathered, how it was collected and by whom.
From this cross-case analysis, the research team developed a set of best management
practices (BMPs) and recommendations. The BMPs provide guidance to state trust land
managers and other stakeholders interested in creating and/or guiding a collaborative process.
The BMPs address effective ways to set the groundwork for a process, determine
membership composition of the collaborative group, merge the people with the process,
create a decision-making structure, effectively manage the people and the process, deal with
information or lack thereof and implement the outcome. The recommendations address the
broader context of challenges that impede collaboration on state trust land. They identify
areas for change in regards to resource allocation, knowledge and skill sets, organizational
structure, organizational culture, policy and law. The recommendations conclude with advice for continued dialogue and learning among agencies regarding collaboration on state trust land, as well as suggestions for future research.Made available in Deep Blue on 21-Apr-2006 14:38:19 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "Collaborative Planning on State Trust Lands - SNRE Masters P.pdf" Previous issue date: 2006-04-01Master of ScienceNatural Resources and EnvironmentUniversity of Michigan, School of Natural Resources and Environmenthttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/35327/2/Collaborative Planning on State Trust Lands - SNRE Masters P.pdf1929 bytes10163153 bytestext/plainapplication/pdfen_USCollaborative Planning on State Trust LandsProjectNatural Resources and EnvironmentScienceoai:deepblue.lib.umich.edu:2027.42/353282006-05-17T19:54:01Zcom_2027.42_13913col_2027.42_39366col_2027.42_35325Eddy, WilliamZak, DonaldHolmes, WilliamAnn Arbor2006-04-21T14:38:24Z2006-04-21T14:38:24Z2006-04-01http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/35328ABSTRACT
Anthropogenic N deposition in industrialized areas in Europe and North America can exceed rates of 30-55 kg N ha-1 y-1 This study examines plant and microbial mechanisms for N retention in northern hardwood forests in Michigan that have received experimental NO3- deposition at the rate of 30 kg N ha-1 y-1 for 10 years.
Sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.), the dominant overstory tree species in northern hardwood forests of the Lake States, has been shown to have a limited capacity to take up and assimilate NO3- (Rothstein et al. 1996). The first objective of this study is to determine if chronic NO3- addition has induced sugar maple to uptake and assimilate NO3-. The rates of NO3- and NH4+ uptake and the rate of NO3- reduction did not differ between the ambient and experimental N deposition treatments. Furthermore, the rate of NO3- uptake was much lower than the rates of NH4+ uptake, at the same time that the rates of NO3- reduction remained low. Together, these results indicate that sugar maple is not inducible as a direct sink for NO3- deposition by chronic NO3- additions. The incapacity of sugar maple to utilize NO3-, indicates that this dominant tree species cannot be a direct sink for NO3- deposition. This finding may partially explain the high rates of NO3- leaching in these forests in response to experimental NO3- deposition.
Soil microbial community function can alter the capacity of an ecosystem to retain N deposition by controlling the cycling of N into stable and accumulating N pools, such as soil organic matter. The second objective of this study is to examine the in situ flow and fate of N in northern hardwood forest soils receiving experimental NO3- deposition. Microbial assimilation of added NO3- appeared to be greater in the treatment receiving only ambient N deposition.. Furthermore, net DON production was greater, and NH4+ production less, under experimental NO3- deposition. Although the results of the tracer experience indicated no difference in N retention in soil between N deposition treatments, the recovery of the tracer in more readily leached soil pools (i.e. NO3- and DON) in the chronic N deposition treatment is consistent with observations of high rates of NO3- and DON loss in this treatment (Pregitzer et al. 2004).Made available in Deep Blue on 21-Apr-2006 14:38:24 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "WilliamEddyThesisFinal.pdf" Previous issue date: 2006-04-01Master of ScienceNatural Resources and EnvironmentUniversity of Michigan, School of Natural Resources and Environmenthttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/35328/2/WilliamEddyThesisFinal.pdf1929 bytes312206 bytestext/plainapplication/pdfen_USPlant and Microbial Mechanisms of Nitrogen Retention in Northern Hardwood Forests Receiving Atmospheric NO3 DepositionThesisNatural Resources and EnvironmentScienceoai:deepblue.lib.umich.edu:2027.42/353292006-05-17T19:53:47Zcom_2027.42_13913col_2027.42_39366col_2027.42_35325Gunder, HalSchott, JustinTurner, JesseWiley, MichaelAnn Arbor2006-04-21T14:38:27Z2006-04-21T14:38:27Z2006-04-01128http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/35329I. ABSTRACT
Increasingly Christians are expressing the need to be better environmental stewards. The
United Methodist Church (UMC) has written numerous statements that charge
individuals, congregations, and broader ministries with the responsibility to take better care of the environment. One of those broader ministries, the General Board of Church and Society (GBCS), oversees policies pertaining to the natural world. Stewardship of the natural world, also known as “creation care”, is one of six social principles emphasized by the Book of Discipline and Book of Resolutions (others include the nurturing, social, economic, political, and world communities). Environmental statements, however, have been slow to filter down through the UMC. At the request of collaboration with the GBCS and the Holston Conference, our research aimed to
determine how the faith of United Methodists affects their environmental concern and
what creation care programs should be developed and implemented. We conducted
research in twenty-four Holston Conference churches (located in eastern TN and
southwestern VA) to determine how United Methodists connect their faith with
environmental concern. Using a combination of surveys, focus groups, and interviews,
we assessed the environmental theologies, attitudes, program interests, and behaviors of lay members, pastors, and seminary students. Analysis of 302 lay member surveys showed high interest in nature-based and
environmental impact programs, but with activism and educational programs scoring the
lowest. Program interests were strongly associated with an environmental justice ethic, secular environmental influences, perceived fragility of the environment, belief that the UMC should be more environmentally responsible, and perceived benefits from environmental programs. Most believed that the environment is fragile and humans are causing significant harm. Barriers toward starting an environmental program were perceived as minor. In terms of environmental behavior, efficiency behaviors such as saving energy and water were practiced more frequently than activism behaviors, such as volunteering or considering the environment when voting. This difference was much less for people with pro-environmental attitudes, and for those with orientations toward environmental justice and liberal politics. Finally, there was a surplus of potential leaders
in the Holston Conference, with 38% of respondents saying they might lead or co-lead an environmental program. Many seminary students expressed interest in developing
additional competence to engage environmental issues in their careers.
Survey data and comments made during focus groups and interviews suggest that members would like to be more familiar with UMC environmental principles and with
environmental issues in general. Emphasizing a biblical environmental justice
perspective should also be a priority. We conclude that programs that directly reduce the environmental impact of the church or encourage its members to do so will have wide
appeal and little opposition. While some skepticism exists, reframing creation care as
service to God and other humans should soothe these tensions. Encouraging and training lay members and seminary students to be future leaders will help foster environmental concern in the Holston Conference and the UMC as a whole.Made available in Deep Blue on 21-Apr-2006 14:38:27 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "snre4.17.06.pdf" Previous issue date: 2006-04-01Master of ScienceNatural Resources and EnvironmentUniversity of Michigan, School of Natural Resources and Environmenthttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/35329/2/snre4.17.06.pdf1929 bytes817545 bytestext/plainapplication/pdfen_USInvestigating Christian Environmental Ethics & Promoting Environmental Care in the Holsten Conference of the United States Methodist ChurchProjectNatural Resources and EnvironmentScienceoai:deepblue.lib.umich.edu:2027.42/353302006-04-26T07:14:01Zcom_2027.42_13913col_2027.42_39366col_2027.42_35325Oxender, BenjaminLarsen, LarissaAnn Arbor2006-04-21T14:38:30Z2006-04-21T14:38:30Z2006-04-01http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/35330Abstract
Established in 1934, Bennett Arboretum is the state of Michigan’s oldest public
arboretum. The Arboretum is located in western Wayne County and is managed
by the Wayne County Department of Parks. The arboretum has experienced a decline in management activities since the middle of the 20th century and is hardly recognizable today. My goal for this project was to improve the image of the Arboretum in the context of this historical area of Metropolitan Detroit.
In order to understand the intentions of the Bennett Arboretum’s founder J.M.
Bennett, I conducted a historical review of Wayne County Michigan’s early
evolution and I focus on the early 20th century. This time period is significant
because of the development of the automobile industry in the area and the direct
influence that this industry had on the development of the park system. I then
conducted a historical review of arboreta throughout the world tracing the origins
of this style of planting to the Arboretum Trsteno, in Croatia. I then followed the
development of arboreta as it moved to a symbol of national pride. I then looked
at two highly successful arboreta in the United States: The Arnold Arboretum and
the University of Wisconsin - Madison - Arboretum. These two arboreta represent
distinctly different arboreta that have evolved over time.
In the summer of 2004 I surveyed Bennett Arboretum to determine what
proportion of trees have survived since its establishment and evaluated each
tree’s condition. Of the nearly 470 trees originally planted, 103 trees remained
from the original collection. The results of the survey formed the basis for a
Master Plan for the Arboretum in 2005, created by myself and my peers in a
Landscape Architecture Studio at the University of Michigan. The development of
the Master plan created a mission statement which shifted the focus of the
Arboretum to an ecosystem based approach for plant collection. I selected two
significant areas of the Master Plan that required merging the historic collection
with this new ecosystem approach. I created a planting plan for the Ornamental and Maple Collections. These two plans create a framework that blends the different collection styles to create a seamless flow throughout and help strengthen Bennett Arboretum’s visual image.Made available in Deep Blue on 21-Apr-2006 14:38:30 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "BenOxenderPracticum4-18-2006.pdf" Previous issue date: 2006-04-01Master of Landscape ArchitectureNatural Resources and EnvironmentUniversity of Michigan, School of Natural Resources and Environmenthttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/35330/2/BenOxenderPracticum4-18-2006.pdf1929 bytes9151568 bytestext/plainapplication/pdfen_USBennett Arboretum: Past, Present, and Future of Michigan's Oldest Public ArboretumPracticumNatural Resources and EnvironmentScienceoai:deepblue.lib.umich.edu:2027.42/353312006-05-17T19:52:56Zcom_2027.42_13913col_2027.42_39366col_2027.42_35325Tamutyte, JurgitaBrabec, ElizabethMichener, DavidAnn Arbor2006-04-21T14:38:37Z2006-04-21T14:38:37Z2006-04-01http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/35331ABSTRACT
The mission of the botanic garden as an institution has changed drastically since its inception in the XVI century. The objectives for a contemporary botanic garden are so complex that its message often gets
lost in the development program, and even more so in its actual spatial expression. The goal for Šiauliai Botanic Garden (Lithuania) is not to imitate other gardens, but to look for the particular niche to express its uniqueness. While program elements are drawn from the Action Plan for
Botanic Gardens in EU, the design elements, forms and their sequences are
inspired by folk art, cultural symbolism and bio-geographic regions of
Lithuania. The resulting Master Plan outlines the proposal for future
development as a tribute to the rich cultural and natural heritage of the
country.Made available in Deep Blue on 21-Apr-2006 14:38:37 (GMT) -- 3 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "Tamutyte, J. 2006.

In October 2005 Steelcase joined the Climate Leaders Program (CL), a voluntary industry-government partnership, created by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Partner companies develop a corporate-wide GHG inventory of the six major gases – carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride from both direct and indirect emission sources, and design a corporate GHG emissions reduction strategy with reduction goals to be attained over the next 5 to 10 years.
Operational boundaries of the inventory incorporate all business units and subsidiaries that are under full operational control of Steelcase, Inc. Organizational boundaries include all CO, CH, NO and HFC emissions from core direct and core indirect sources. 242GHG emissions data are collected and analyzed by fuel source using facility-specific approach with 2004 base year. Calculation methodology is based on the emissions factors approach, with final results measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (MT CO2e). The preliminary estimate of the total corporate GHG footprint for 2004 is 188,000 MT CO2e with 26% originating from direct and 74% from indirect emissions sources. The inventory identifies manufacturing, corporate, and transportation as the three most carbon intensive operations. They account for 61.6% (115,710 MT CO2e), 20.1% (37,684 MT CO2e) and 7% (10,516 MT CO2e) of emissions, respectively. Most of the GHG footprint comes from electricity use (139,136 MT CO2e or 75% of all emissions) and natural gas combustion (27,811 MT CO2e or 15% of all emissions).
The protocol is designed to institutionalize the process for collecting, calculating, maintaining, and reporting corporate GHG emissions data at Steelcase. Corporate deliverables include the Inventory Management Plan and the GHG Inventory. Finally, the author provides an overview of other voluntary GHG reduction programs in the US and a general discussion of policy and market drivers that influence corporate climate change strategies.Made available in Deep Blue on 21-Apr-2006 14:38:40 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "SNRE Master's Thesis - Steelcase and CSS.pdf" Previous issue date: 2006-04-01Master of ScienceNatural Resources and EnvironmentUniversity of Michigan, School of Natural Resources and Environmenthttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/35332/2/SNRE Master's Thesis - Steelcase and CSS.pdf1929 bytes698436 bytestext/plainapplication/pdfen_USProtocol and Preliminary Greenhouse Gases (GHG) Emissions Inventory: Steelcase, Inc.PracticumNatural Resources and EnvironmentScienceoai:deepblue.lib.umich.edu:2027.42/353332006-05-17T19:52:24Zcom_2027.42_13913col_2027.42_39366col_2027.42_35325Bolon, KevinFujihira, KeitaMoore, MichaelAnn Arbor2006-04-21T14:38:43Z2006-04-21T14:38:43Z2006-04-01124http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/35333Abstract
There currently exists a demand in the United States for information about the environmental impacts
of consumer products, but there is no consistent system for providing this information. This project proposes guidelines for the creation of a Type III environmental declaration program which will provide objective information about the environmental impacts of products based on life cycle assessment (LCA)methods.
To more easily convey complicated information to consumers, the use of an original data presentation format, the “radar area graph”, was selected based on the results of a consumer survey. Because printed labels do not allow convenient product comparisons, a model internet website was created to demonstrate
the potential of interactive product data. One original recommendation is an interactive personal database that allows consumers to track the impacts of their activities, thus making data more interesting and useful to consumers.
Because evaluating products using LCA can be time consuming, we created a method of efficiently and consistently calculating environmental impacts. It includes guidelines for defining system boundaries
and functional units, and for characterizing environmental impacts. Ten environmental impact category indicators were selected, and original methods were developed for characterizing land use and water
depletion using spatial data. A spreadsheet calculator was created for determining human and ecological toxicity indicators. Finally, original software was developed to demonstrate the proposal for a common
database of process and material parameters.
To guide an administrator during the creation of a new Type III program, recommendations are provided for organizational structure, product registration procedures, and budget management for continued operation and growth.Made available in Deep Blue on 21-Apr-2006 14:38:43 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "Guidelines for Type III Declarations - Full Report - by Bolo.pdf" Previous issue date: 2006-04-01Master of ScienceNatural Resources and EnvironmentUniversity of Michigan, School of Natural Resources and Environmenthttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/35333/2/Guidelines for Type III Declarations - Full Report - by Bolo.pdf1929 bytes5705521 bytestext/plainapplication/pdfen_USGuidelines for the Creation of a Program for Type III Environmental Declarations in the United StatesProjectNatural Resources and EnvironmentScienceoai:deepblue.lib.umich.edu:2027.42/353342006-05-17T19:53:29Zcom_2027.42_13913col_2027.42_39366col_2027.42_35325Walworth, KariNosanchuk, SaraOlans, AlexisHoriuchi, RinaLyon, ThomasAnn Arbor2006-04-21T14:38:46Z2006-04-21T14:38:46Z2006-04-01126http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/35334ABSTRACT
This report presents the business case for why Cummins Inc., a 10-billion-dollar diesel
engine and power company, should adopt a sustainability strategy, and provides suggestions
for how the company can incorporate the concept of sustainability into its existing processes.
The Four-Question Sustainability Framework, a tool created specifically for this project, is
used throughout the report.
The five reasons why Cummins should adopt a sustainability strategy are:
• Sustainability is part of Cummins’ history.
• Sustainability is in line with Cummins’ vision, mission, and values.
• A sustainability strategy will help Cummins address macro-environmental trends.
• A sustainability strategy will enable Cummins to reap financial benefits.
• A sustainability strategy is necessary for Cummins to remain competitive.
We present a case study of Fleetguard’s creation of the Mach filter to demonstrate how the
interplay of these factors influenced a Cummins business unit to pursue a new product linked
to sustainability.
To explain how Cummins can integrate a sustainability strategy, we develop a sustainability
vision statement for Cummins. We then draw upon the Four-Question Sustainability
Framework to systematically analyze existing processes and suggest enhancements for how
the company can become more sustainable. We recommend implementing these changes
through four main channels: overall company objectives, planning processes, operational
practices, and financial analyses.Made available in Deep Blue on 21-Apr-2006 14:38:46 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "Masters Project - Cummins (Public).pdf" Previous issue date: 2006-04-01Master of ScienceNatural Resources and EnvironmentUniversity of Michigan, School of Natural Resources and Environmenthttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/35334/2/Masters Project - Cummins (Public).pdf1929 bytes1500021 bytestext/plainapplication/pdfen_USThe Business Case for Sustainability at Cummins Inc.ProjectNatural Resources and EnvironmentScienceoai:deepblue.lib.umich.edu:2027.42/353352006-12-07T14:50:00Zcom_2027.42_13913col_2027.42_39366col_2027.42_35325Davidian, ElijahDinse, KeelyNorton, RichardLarsen, LarissaLevine, JonathanAnn Arbor2006-04-21T14:38:49Z2006-04-21T14:38:49Z2006-04-01http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/35335EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This study identifies and attempts to address three common shortcomings of today’s
campus sustainability initiatives: difficulties in measuring social and economic factors; a
lack of consideration for integrative issues such as land use; and a generally reactive
approach to proposed development. To engage these concerns, we develop a model for
predicting the relative sustainability of different campus land use configurations. The
model uses computer-based mapping software (a geographic information system or
GIS) to measure a set of six sustainability indicators for each land use scenario. The
indicators chosen represent all three competing interests of sustainable development:
economic prosperity (one indicator), social equity (two indicators), and environmental
integrity (four indicators).Made available in Deep Blue on 21-Apr-2006 14:38:49 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "Davidian_Elijah_Master's_Project.pdf" Previous issue date: 2006-04-01Master of ScienceNatural Resources and EnvironmentUrban + Regional PlanningUniversity of Michigan, School of Natural Resources and Environmenthttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/35335/2/Davidian_Elijah_Master's_Project.pdf1929 bytes9789731 bytestext/plainapplication/pdfen_USTowards Sustainable Campus Planning: Measuring Campus Development ScenariosProjectNatural Resources and EnvironmentScienceoai:deepblue.lib.umich.edu:2027.42/353362006-05-17T19:53:53Zcom_2027.42_13913col_2027.42_39366col_2027.42_35325Kasat, RakhiWiley, MichaelAllan, J.

This study examined how land use, water level fluctuations of Lake Erie, and discharge all affect seasonal nutrient concentrations and delivery on Crane Creek, a small agricultural tributary of Lake Erie in Northwest Ohio. Seventeen sites were sampled in the Crane Creek watershed from May to November 2004 and April to June 2005. These sites were chosen to capture the variability of land use in the watershed and included potential point sources, catchments with a variety of land uses, sites within the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, and a near-shore Lake Erie site. Hydrologic measurements along with water samples were taken at each site and evaluated for nitrite-nitrate nitrogen, SRP, ammonia nitrogen, and several other water quality parameters.
There were three major findings. First, both water level fluctuations driven by Lake Erie seiches and higher discharge make the downstream sites less spatially and temporally variable than the upstream sites. The downstream sites also had higher water quality because of wetland transformation of nutrients and dilution from lake water inflow. Second, while agricultural and urban land use likely contribute nutrients from fertilizer use and urban runoff, point sources in the catchment seem to have a greater influence on water quality in Crane Creek, particularly in times of low stream discharge. The influence of varying patterns of land use was difficult to determine because homogeneity of the landscape and point sources confounded the analysis. Finally, within the lower estuary, water quality in the system was similar to water quality in surrounding diked pools. This similarity makes hydrologic reconnection of these wetlands a possibility, although physical constraints complicate the restoration process. These findings have implications for other small Lake Erie tributaries.Made available in Deep Blue on 21-Apr-2006 14:38:52 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "Kasat thesis 4-12-06.pdf" Previous issue date: 2006-04-01Master of ScienceNatural Resources and EnvironmentUniversity of Michigan, School of Natural Resources and Environmenthttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/35336/2/Kasat thesis 4-12-06.pdf1929 bytes852075 bytestext/plainapplication/pdfen_USNutrient Dynamics in a Small Agricultural Lake Erie TributaryThesisNatural Resources and EnvironmentScienceoai:deepblue.lib.umich.edu:2027.42/353372006-05-17T19:53:36Zcom_2027.42_13913col_2027.42_39366col_2027.42_35325Ard, KerryMohai, PaulMoore, MichaelAnn Arbor2006-04-21T14:38:55Z2006-04-21T14:38:55Z2006-04-01http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/35337Abstract
Prior studies have found that African American members of Congress are more likely to
vote pro-environmentally than their white colleagues, but so far little is known about
the voting behavior of other nonwhite members. We examine trends in the environmental
voting behavior of Hispanic members and examine how they compare to those of African
American and white members. We test hypotheses about the likely causes of the disparities
in voting patterns. Specifically, we examine the effect of both member characteristics
and constituency characteristics on voting behavior. Results show that Hispanics are more
likely to vote pro-environmentally than whites but less likely than African Americans.
Results also suggest that much of the difference with white members can be attributed to
Hispanic members more liberal ideological leanings. As one of the fastest growing
minority populations in the U.S., Hispanics have the potential to have a lasting impact
on Congress and environmental policy.

The River Raisin Watershed drains 2,780 square kilometers of southeastern Michigan and northern Ohio, terminating in Lake Erie. Currently, agriculture dominates the watershed (73 %)but exurban development is contributing to a changing landscape. As a result, the river and associated tributaries are heavily impacted and in need of a management plan that identifies
threats to the watershed’s health and proposes appropriate responses. The River Raisin
Watershed Council (RRWC) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) of Michigan, both active in
advocating for watershed protection, enlisted the project team’s help in developing this plan. The results of this analysis will guide TNC and the RRWC to develop strategies to effectively
manage the natural resources of the watershed. The team investigated three areas of importance in developing watershed protection strategies: 1) water quality in the upper watershed, 2)
identification of conservation targets in the upper watershed using a GIS model and habitat assessment, and 3) analysis of local ordinances throughout the watershed that address stormwater management, preservation of natural areas, and reduction of impervious surfaces using a scoring
system developed by the Center for Watershed Protection. The main stem of the River Raisin
above the village of Manchester has the best water quality and also has the largest amount of priority area for habitat conservation. The subwatersheds of Hazen and Evans creek exhibited the poorest water quality in the upper watershed. The South Branch of the River Raisin and parts
of Evans Creek are also the areas of lowest conservation value based on available habitat. The cities of Tecumseh and Adrian, the major population centers in these subwatersheds, are the local governments that need the most revision of local ordinances to improve water quality and
stormwater management. Based on our analysis we recommend specific locations that could
serve as focal areas for conservation planning and model ordinances to improve water quality.Made available in Deep Blue on 21-Apr-2006 14:38:58 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "The River Raisin Watershed Management Plan, Phase 1.pdf" Previous issue date: 2006-04-01Master of ScienceNatural Resources and EnvironmentUniversity of Michigan, School of Natural Resources and Environmenthttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/35338/2/The River Raisin Watershed Management Plan, Phase 1.pdf1929 bytes10455552 bytestext/plainapplication/pdfen_USRiver Raisin Watershed Management Plan, Phase 1ProjectNatural Resources and EnvironmentScienceoai:deepblue.lib.umich.edu:2027.42/363082014-06-09T18:46:13Zcom_2027.42_13913col_2027.42_39366col_2027.42_35325Bole, RichardKeoleian, GregoryGladwin, ThomasAnn Arbor2006-04-25T15:56:16ZNO_RESTRICTION2006-04-25T15:56:16Z2006-04-01http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/36308Abstract
The energy efficiency of the average clothes washer in the United States improved by
88.4% from 1981 to 2003 (AHAM 2005). Replacement of old vertical-axis washers with
new horizontal-axis washers results in decreased operating costs, both environmental and economic. But replacement also results in one-time financial and environmental impacts from purchasing, manufacturing and disposition. The purpose of this study is to quantify
this trade-off and determine optimal replacement intervals for residential clothes washers.
The Life-Cycle Optimization (LCO) model employed to answer this fundamental
research question uses as inputs separate Life-Cycle Inventory (LCI) and Life-Cycle Cost
(LCC) profiles for each model year clothes washer from 1985-2020. These profiles
represent four life-cycle phases of a washer: Material production, manufacturing and assembly, use, and end-of life management.
The results of the LCI and LCC studies showed that the use phase of the washer’s
life cycle accounts for 96-99% of energy, carbon dioxide emissions and water use, but
just 61%-86% of total costs over an anticipated 20 year life. From an energy or carbon dioxide emissions perspective, any average washer, regardless of model year, should be replaced with a new horizontal-axis washer in 2006, 2011 and 2016. From a water use and cost minimization perspective an average washer should be immediately replacedwith a horizontal-axis washer which should be held until the end of the study period.Deposited by Jennifer Perkins (jennperk@umich.edu) on 25-Apr-2006 15:56:14 (GMT)

Many driving variables including light, water residence time, physical stratification, and temperature are responsible for the diversity of the response. To classify estuaries based on their susceptibility to nutrient loads, a nutrient- phytoplankton- zooplankton (NPZ) model was developed and applied to river-dominated, well-mixed estuaries. Estuaries are classified as having low, medium, high and hyper eutrophic conditions by the model.
The result of the model suggests that water residence time is an important controlling variable in the process of achieving a steady-state response to nutrient loads. Although phytoplankton responses to residence time vary under different loads, they have the same positive trend. Phytoplankton responses are almost linear with water residence time initially, then decrease, and eventually plateau.Metadata was updated on 5-Oct-2010 17:15:21 (GMT) by Jennifer Taylor (jennperk@umich.edu)Deposited by Jennifer Perkins (jennperk@umich.edu) on 25-Apr-2006 17:55:00 (GMT)

Walleye Sander vitreus is a far-ranging species that makes long-range movements between spawning and foraging habitats. Walleye inhabiting the eastern portion of the Lake Michigan watershed move into the Muskegon River in spring to spawn. After spawning, some walleye immediately leave the Muskegon River, while some may suspend their downstream movement to exploit prey availability and temperatures optimal for consumption and growth. The purpose of this study was to determine if prey availability and temperature affect growth, and, therefore, movement of walleye between the Muskegon River and Muskegon Lake during spring and summer.
The optimal temperature range for walleye consumption and growth is 18 to 22oC, and temperature in 2004 in the Muskegon system remained in this range for nearly one month. During this time, walleye ingested large prey items such as rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss in the Muskegon River, and alewife Alosa pseudoharengus in Muskegon Lake. These optimal conditions had a positive effect on short-term walleye growth, demonstrated by the increase in the relative weight of walleye between spring and summer. The mean total length and mean length-at-age of walleye inhabiting the Muskegon system also increased from 2004 to 2005, signifying that favorable temperature and forage conditions in 2004 resulted in increased walleye growth over the course of the year.
This study established that growth of walleye was strongly related to forage availability and temperature. The similarity of forage and temperature
1

conditions in the Muskegon River and Muskegon Lake facilitated movement between the two systems and led to comparable length-at-age and relative weight values for walleye in each system. Therefore, significant yearly variations in prey abundance and temperature in the Muskegon system should more strongly affect walleye feeding and growth than slight differences in these conditions between the Muskegon River and Muskegon Lake within a year.Deposited by Jennifer Perkins (jennperk@umich.edu) on 3-May-2006 17:49:52 (GMT)

Hydrogen has received great attention in recent years as an energy storage and transmission
medium, given its potential environmental, national energy security, and performance
benefits. DTE Energy and the United States Department of Energy have established the
Hydrogen Technology Park (“Park”) in Southfield, Michigan, a technology validation
program consisting of an operating, demonstration facility with hydrogen electrolysers,
compressed hydrogen storage, dispenser, and fuel cells. An engineering-economic analysis
developed in this study, based on Park operating data and costs, estimates the current
levelized cost of hydrogen ranging from $12.33 to $21.32/kg H2 (for hypothetical Park-like
facilities with output of 1,200 and 100 kg H2/day, respectively), which is significantly higher
than estimates made by other studies. Combining a fuel cell array with a neighborhood
hydrogen filling station would result in an estimated current levelized cost of fuel cell
electricity ranging from $2.09 to $2.13/kWh (for power generation of 5,000 kWh/day). The
study concludes that the Park, with its current demonstration-stage technologies and costs, is
not cost competitive in commercial hydrogen, utility-scale energy storage, or hydrogen
vehicle markets.Deposited by Jennifer Perkins (jennperk@umich.edu) on 4-May-2006 13:56:43 (GMT)

China’s Sloping Land Conversion Program seeks to improve both the environmental and economic conditions of rural farmers by paying them a cash and grain subsidy over a period of five to eight years. In exchange, farmers retire a portion of their agricultural land and plant a cover crop of trees or grasses to help prevent soil erosion. This paper evaluates the economic and environmental impact of the program four years after its first implementation. Results suggest the program was successfully targeted at poorer farmers on erosion-prone sloping farmland. There is also some evidence the program is improving farmer incomes and pushing more farmers into off-farm labor markets. However, the targeting of highly sloping farmland (greater than 25 degrees) could be improved.Deposited by Jennifer Perkins (jennperk@umich.edu) on 28-Jun-2006 13:35:14 (GMT)

Compared to other high temperature B2 aluminides, RuAl displays a very high melting temperature (Tm ~2068˚C) and unusually high compression ductility, which is thought to arise from its diverse slip behavior and the two phase microstructure. The objective of this study is to examine the plastic behavior of this compound in greater detail, with emphasis on developing a quantitative understanding of the straining processes at the scale of the microstructure. Several advanced experimental techniques, including a newly developed surface displacement mapping technique, orientation imaging microscopy, nanoindentation, focused ion beam and transmission electron microscopy are utilized to investigate the strain development behavior at the local microstructural scale of three different RuAl alloys, each with varying volume fraction of a secondary δ-Ru phase. This research is unique in that it directly connects the local straining behavior to the microstructure as well as to the underlying dislocation activity. It is found that a significant degree of strain heterogeneity developed in RuAl alloys after a few percent nominal deformation, with strains varying by a factor of 10～300％ from the mean imposed strains within the neighborhood of several grains. The characteristics of such heterogeneity vary with the amount of δ-Ru phase present. This δ phase serves as a compliant layer by deforming preferentially during deformation and redistributing strain in the local microstructural areas. In single phase RuAl, the straining of grains is dominated by the <110>{110} slip system in comparison to the <100>{110} system under the local microstructural conditions studied. By examining the details of strain heterogeneity and local lattice distortion, it is found that large strain gradients in the vicinity of grain boundaries are not associated with variations in the density of geometrically necessary dislocations.Deposited by Jim Ottaviani (hellpop@umich.edu) on 10-Jul-2006 19:38:32 (GMT)

Because large numbers of online agencies report on such events, and continually update their stories, the Web provides timely access to a variety of perspectives. However, following facts in a breaking story is challenging for a number of reasons. For example, news agencies have their own reputation and agenda, such that sources often contradict one another. In addition, it takes time for accounts of stories to stabilize and to be accepted as the ground truth, such that previously reported information is often corrected. Information retrieval applications, such as text summarizers and question answering systems, are designed to help users find relevant information effectively when faced with large amounts of text. However, they typically do not account for the fact that information may be time or source sensitive. The current thesis works towards designing tools that can support users in following dynamic information, by focusing on the problem of finding facts from sets of related news articles, published while a news story is developing.
Based on the findings of a corpus analysis, as well as an annotation experiment, a prototype system was built. An important finding was that when presented with a factual question and a set of articles about a story, users agreed on which sentences reported answers to the question. However, the agreement as to which answers were new, or had changed with time, was no better than expected by chance. Therefore, rather than detecting changing information, the system finds sentences that are relevant to an input question, and presents them to the user with their respective publication times and sources. The system was evaluated intrinsically and extrinsically with significant results. In particular, in a task-oriented user evaluation, in which the use of the system was compared that of another state-of-the-art system, it was shown that users exerted less effort in searching for the answers to questions with the new system, while obtaining the same level of task accuracy.Made available in Deep Blue on 11-Jul-2006 13:41:51 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "Jahna.thesis.pdf" Previous issue date: 2006Ph.D.InformationUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

Yet, very little research exists to guide the organization of scientific data sources or to understand the technical and social infrastructures needed to support the secondary use of data. Ecology is one of the disciplines that contributes to our knowledge of the natural world, but several factors complicate the sharing and reuse of ecological data. I conducted in-depth interviews to investigate the experiences of ecologists who used data they did not collect themselves in order to understand how they overcome these challenges. My findings extend our knowledge of information reuse, and they have implications for the design of digital libraries, for the development of standards, and for the creation of data sharing policies and programs.
Fieldwork performs an important function in shaping ecologists' formal and informal knowledge, which carries over to their reuse of data. The informal knowledge ecologists acquire as collectors of their own data in the field or laboratory plays the most important role in their reuse of data. The secondary use of data on a large scale requires a greater emphasis on standardization, peer review, and quality control, which alters the extent of reliance on informal knowledge. However, a formal system offers only some of the information that scientists require to reuse data, and there is a danger in thinking that informal knowledge is easily replaced and is no longer necessary or important. My study shows how social exchange is an integral part of all scientific understanding. Standard research methods, metadata standards, and common storage formats make it possible to integrate data on a large scale, but this power comes from leaving out information that is necessary to secondary data use. Ecology teaches us that there are multiple sides to issues of trust, standards, understanding, and judgments about data quality. To be effective vehicles of data sharing, digital libraries and data repositories must capture public and private knowledge and must find ways to document the implicit knowledge that ecologists recognize and can articulate.Made available in Deep Blue on 11-Jul-2006 13:41:58 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "ann_zimmerman_dissertation_2003.pdf" Previous issue date: 2003Ph.D.Information and Library StudiesUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

Despite this, however, collaboration can often be problematic. There are institutional obstacles, collaboration tools may be poorly designed, and group coordination is difficult. To better design technologies to support research activities, we need an improved understanding of why scientists collaborate and how their collaborations work. To achieve this improved understanding, this study compares two theoretical approaches to collaboration propensity—that is, the extent to which collaboration is perceived as useful by individual researchers.
On one hand, cultural comparisons of disciplines suggest that collaboration propensity will be higher in disciplinary cultures that have a more collectivist orientation, as indicated by low levels of competition for individual recognition and few concerns about secrecy related to commercialization and intellectual property. In contrast, an approach based on social and organizational psychology suggests that collaboration propensity will vary as a function of resource concentration, fieldwide focus on a well-defined set of problems, and the need for and availability of help when difficult problems are encountered in day-to-day work. To explore this question, a mail survey of 900
academic researchers in three fields was conducted, along with 100 interviews with practicing researchers at 17 sites in the field.
Results support a focus on work attributes in interpreting collaboration propensity. That is, cultural factors such as competition for individual recognition and concerns about intellectual property were not perceived as significant impediments to collaboration. Instead, characteristics like resource concentration and the need for coordination were more important in determining collaboration propensity. Implications of these findings include a call for more careful examination of the day-to-day work of scientists and engineers, and a suggestion that concerns about scientific competition impeding collaboration may be unwarranted.Made available in Deep Blue on 11-Jul-2006 13:42:03 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "Birnholtz.dissertation_final.pdf" Previous issue date: 2005Ph.D.InformationUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

How and to what purpose do groups not expected to use ICT—because they are formed from “digitally divided” populations—in fact do so? Who or what helps them use it?
The study makes a contribution primarily to the field of community informatics, drawing concepts from social capital and social network theory (Granovetter, Lin, Putnam, Wellman). Data concerning where community groups get help with ICT are analyzed to see whether and how strong and weak ties and bridging and bonding social capital play a role in helping the groups.
The study finds that having more ties providing ICT help—and more strong ties, more bonding social capital—is associated with more extensive ICT use by the community groups. Based on 25 measures of ICT, the groups fall into three progressively more extensive categories of ICT use: downloading (using computers and the Internet, particularly e-mail), uploading (maintaining a group Web presence), and
cyberorganizing (helping others to become uploaders or downloaders). These three categories align with group purpose (tenant groups, cultural groups, or social support groups), suggesting that the groups use a particularly social form of ICT (SICT) relating very closely to group purpose. The 31 groups are reaching across real or perceived digital divides in accessing help with ICT; the ties utilized are likely to be younger, more white, more male, and more in the workforce.
The method helps to move the new field of community informatics beyond the case study by analyzing a sample of 31 community groups and their 62 ICT helpers. Empirical proof is provided via statistical tests on closed-end responses (quantitative) along with narratives extracted from interviews (qualitative).
Social exclusion is often oversimplified, not taking into account the phenomenon uncovered here: groups that reach across ethnicity, class, gender, and generations for skilled help, yet stay close to their strong-tie, bonding-social-capital networks, relying largely on people in their own communities. Policy models might usefully take into account the relatively invisible but active networks within socially excluded communities.Made available in Deep Blue on 11-Jul-2006 13:42:08 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "williams_kate_2005_dissertation.pdf" Previous issue date: 2005Ph.D.InformationUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

Collaborative Narratives:
Collaborative learning in Blogosphere
by
Jude Yew
Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Victor Rosenberg
From the dialogues between Plato and Socrates to modern day classrooms, narratives
have had a well-established tradition of aiding the learning process. Similarly, there is
also a rich body of literature to support the relationship between collaborations and
learning where it is acknowledged that learning takes place best in groups. Furthermore,
much research has been conducted on the use of collaborative technologies to aid the
learning process. What has been less explored, however, is the intersection between these
three areas: narratives, collaborative technologies and learning. There is great potential
when these three concepts meet, and from their inter-relationship, the case for
collaborative narratives to enhance the learning experience can emerge.
This research explores the use Blogs as an application that is well suited for the
development of a learning community. When aggregated through the use of syndication
technology, student maintained Blogs form a community known as a Blogosphere. The
study proposes that such a Blogosphere promotes the construction of a learning
community where individuals are able to conduct reflective analysis, observe how others
grapple with new information, interact with classmates and receive feedback from the
instructor. The interaction with people and knowledge afforded by the use of the
Blogosphere takes place through the use of narrative construction on both the individual
and group levels. It is argued that this interaction through the use of narratives fosters
both cognitive and social processes that influence both individual and group knowledge
acquisition. This ability to construct and articulate knowledge collectively through the
use of narratives is superior to learning new concepts individually and in the abstract.
A study of a University of Michigan Business School class was undertaken with the
notion of how a Blogosphere can be utilized to facilitate collaborative learning. This
investigation will employ empirical methods of analysis to argue for the potential of
group authored narratives as a means to convey information and to form knowledge.Made available in Deep Blue on 11-Jul-2006 13:42:12 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "Yew.Masters Thesis (final4).pdf" Previous issue date: 2005Master of ScienceSchool of InformationUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS), which describes components and services required to develop and maintain archives in order to support long-term access and understanding of the information in those archives. The development of the OAIS took place within a standards development organization called the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS), whose formal purview is the work of space agencies, but the effort reached far beyond the traditional CCSDS interests and stakeholders. It has become a fundamental component of digital archive research and development in a variety of disciplines and sectors. Through document analysis, social network analysis and qualitative analysis of interview data, I explain how and why the OAIS development effort, which took place within a space data standards body, was transformed into a standard of much wider scope, relevant to a diverse set of actors.
The OAIS development process involved substantial enrollment of resources from the environment, including skills and expertise; social ties; documentary artifacts; structures and routines; physical facilities and proximity; and funding streams. Enrollment from the environment did not occur automatically. It was based on concerted efforts by actors who searched for relevant literature, framed the process as open, and promoted it at professional events. Their acts of participation also helped to enroll resources, contributing to what structuration theory calls the signification and legitimation of the Reference Model, i.e. enactment of what the document means, and why and to whom it is important. Documentary artifacts were most successfully incorporated into the OAIS when they were perceived to support modularity and to be at an appropriate level of abstraction. The content of the Reference Model was subject to stabilization over time, making changes less likely and more limited in scope. A major factor in the success of the OAIS was the timing of its development. Actors within several streams of activity related to digital preservation perceived the need for a highlevel model but had not themselves developed one. At the same time, several actors now felt they had knowledge from their own recent digital archiving efforts, which could inform the development of the OAIS. This study has important implications for research on standardization, and it provides many lessons for those engaged in future standards development efforts.Made available in Deep Blue on 11-Jul-2006 13:42:17 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "dissertation_callee.pdf" Previous issue date: 2005Ph.D.InformationUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

Will Internet users be inclined to fashion an information environment that reflects their own political predispositions, or will they continue to encounter a range of perspectives
online?
The dissertation addresses these questions using two interconnected research
projects. The first project uses nationally representative survey data to examine how
contemporary use of the Internet is influencing citizens’ overall exposure to political information. The second project focuses on individual choices about exposure to news items in an online environment that affords enhanced control over partisanship. Taken together, these projects clarify the contemporary dynamic of selective political exposure, providing evidence about citizens’ underlying preferences regarding political
information.Made available in Deep Blue on 11-Jul-2006 13:42:22 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "Garrett-dissertation-final.pdf" Previous issue date: 2005Ph.D.InformationUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

However, the prevalence of information overload and problems caused by the loss of shared communication channels in text-based environments may create barriers to realizing the benefits of online interactions. Attempts to manage online communication systems in the past depended on techniques that cannot be applied to, or do not allow, large-scale interactions.
Slashdot is a large-scale, long-lasting Web discussion community that uses a form of recommendation system to provide feedback about the quality of comments users post to the site. This dissertation examines this novel approach to organizing an online communication system in terms of how users employ the ratings provided by the system, whether comment ratings have an effect on how new users of the site participate, and how users making recommendations about content actually provide ratings.
I find that users do employ ratings to change how they view content, but that there is some resistance that prevents them from doing so readily. To overcome this friction, I recommend dynamic changes based on the choices of other users who seem more willing to make interface changes based on comment ratings. I also find that new user participation on Slashdot is affected by feedback on the initial comment made by the new member, but that user observation is just as important in determining how the new member will participate in the future. Finally, I find that ratings are being sufficiently applied to comments, but that some comments are not receiving fair attention because of when or where they are posted within the online discussion.
The overall conclusions of this work are that pre-rating content helps to relieve the pressure of attaining sufficient ratings on comments, that rating labels provide valuable feedback for customizing how users with different motivations may read comments, and that comments ratings positively affect user experiences in a large, online discussion system. The Slashdot case shows how the use of recommendations in an online discussion system creates organization that ameliorates the problems of information overload and loss of communication channels, while still allowing for large-scale, heterogeneous interactions.Made available in Deep Blue on 11-Jul-2006 13:42:27 (GMT) -- 2 bitstream(s): "license.txt" "lampe_diss_revised.pdf" Previous issue date: 2006Ph.D.InformationUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

Abstract
Tribes and the U.S. Government have entered into co-management agreements to
accommodate tribal interests in regaining access and reasserting traditional practices on
ancestral lands that were lost during colonization. While some Native Americans have
continued to fight court battles to regain ancestral lands, others have sought negotiated
agreements wherein they serve as the principal managers and caretakers of public
resources. One such agreement is between the Washoe Tribe and the U.S. Forest Service
in the Lake Tahoe basin. The implementation of the co-management agreement allows
not only access to ancestral sites but also the restoration of traditional uses, so it is more
reflective of the Tribe’s own needs and culture. The Tribe’s goal is to help preserve its
rich cultural heritage and historical relationship with Lake Tahoe, while reintegrating
traditional ecological knowledge that evolved with this ecosystem for over 9,000 years.
The research provides a multi-dimensional understanding of how the co-management
agreement emerged, the negotiation process, and the end result. Further, it explores
implementation of the agreement from the tribe’s perspective to better understand what
the co-management agreement provides to tribal members that they did not already have
and how the Forest Service has changed local forest management and consultation
practices with the tribe as a result of the agreement. Finally, this research examines what
co-management does not change to better understand its limitations in addressing the
needs of tribal communities.Deposited by Jennifer Perkins (jennperk@umich.edu) on 25-Jul-2006 16:33:36 (GMT)

The goal of this study was to determine how softcopy digital photogrammetry
can be used to describe and monitor shorebird habitat. I focused on applying
monitoring methods previously used for beach erosions studies of tourist beaches to
shorebird habitat concentrating on the habitat requirements of Western Snowy
Plovers. I investigated how the physical habitat of Western Snowy Plovers has
changed over time at Sand Beach, which is part of Coal Oil Point Reserve in Santa
Barbara, California, from 1928 to the present day, using width, area, and elevation
data gathered from a series of aerial photographs. For two-dimensional analysis, I
used single georeferenced photographs to measure width at regular intervals and area
for each year a photo was available. Next, for three-dimensional analysis, I
employed digital elevation models (DEMs) built from stereo photographs to explore
whether the available photos can be used to document changes in the elevation of
Sands Beach.
The results were mixed. Georeferenced aerial photographs can be used to
obtain quality measurements of beach area and width. Orthorectification is not
necessary if photos can be georeferenced with minimal error. The amount of error
present in the georeferenced images was indicated by the root mean squared error. A
higher root mean squared error in the referencing process resulted in lower accuracy.
Given the available photos and ground control points, I was unable to build digital
elevation models with high enough quality to compare elevation from one year to the
next. This was more likely due to a need for more ground control points than to the
image scale or image errors.
The area of Sands Beach was found to be increasing in area. This was due
mainly to the retreat of the vegetation line as the mouth of Devereux Slough shifted
in 1992 rather than an accumulation of sand on the beach.Deposited by Jennifer Perkins (jennperk@umich.edu) on 3-Aug-2006 19:43:15 (GMT)

income generation without harming the environment. These goals are sometimes not met, however,
and environmentally unfriendly or economically unsuccessful ecotourism tends to prevail in many
developing countries, questioning the validity of its original concept. Therefore, careful assessment of
cultural, environmental, and economic aspects is necessary when introducing ecotourism to a region.
This paper uses choice experiments as a method to find tourists’ willingness to pay (WTP), and it
analyzes preferences of tourists to assess the financial potential of the future ecotourism in the village
of Uaxactún, Guatemala. Villagers in Uaxactún are faced with a need for another means of income to
produce the concession fee for the Maya Biosphere Reserve. With their traditional forest harvesting,
which is their primary source of income, becoming unsustainable because of the influx of population
into the village, villagers are interested in developing ecotourism.
Three hypothetical ecotourism options were developed with input from the local residents, and
three prices, reflecting potential costs, were developed for each option. The survey was conducted of
87 international tourists and 12 local tourists. Survey data were analyzed using the multinomial logit
model. The result shows that both sets of tourists have marginal willingness to pay lower than the
potential costs of ecotourism, suggesting the difficulty of financial success of ecotourism in Uaxactún.
The results should be discussed in combination with the cultural and environmental aspects as the
community decides whether to proceed with ecotourism-based development.Deposited by Jennifer Perkins (jennperk@umich.edu) on 16-Aug-2006 13:54:30 (GMT)

To combat rising levels of water pollution in the Ganges River, the Indian government
initiated the Ganga Action Plan (GAP) in 1984. After twenty years, it is a common
perception that the GAP has failed to achieve the goals of a cleaner river. Using
available government data on pollution levels and hydrology, I undertook an of the GAP
efficacy for fifteen pollution parameters across 52 water quality sampling points monitored
by India’s Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) within the Ganga Basin. Dissolved
oxygen, BOD, and COD showed a significant improvement of water quality after
twenty years. In addition, fecal and total coliform levels, as well as concentrations of calcium,
magnesium, and TDS all showed a significant decline. Building on this analysis, a
GIS analysis was used to create a spatial model of the majority of the Ganga River network
using a reach-based ecological classification approach. Using recent GAP monitoring
data, a multiple linear regression model of expected pollutant loads within each reach
(VSEC unit) was created. This model was then used to inventory water quality across the
entire basin, based on CPCB criteria. My analysis showed 208 river km were class A,
1,142 river km were class B, 684 river km were class C, 1,614 river km were class D, and
10,403 river km were class E. In 2004, field measurements were taken at six major cities
along the Ganga mainstem which showed lower concentrations of nitrogen predicted
from my model, and roughly the same values of phosphate as the model provided. Although
the GAP did not result in significant improvements in all major water quality parameters,
the fact that most water quality parameters did not significantly decline, even
after a doubling of the region’s population during the twenty-year period, does reflect a
significant level of success with the law.Deposited by Jennifer Perkins (jennperk@umich.edu) on 16-Aug-2006 14:15:50 (GMT)

The central
part of the city, which dates in part back to the 13th century, has drawn millions
of tourists each year since the 1990s. In 2004, 6.7 million passengers passed
through Tallinn’s ports. A short (80-km) ferry ride from Helsinki, Tallinn’s location
-- at the crossroads of east-west and north-south trading routes -- has made it highly
contested territory since the Crusades.
During the twentieth century, Tallinn was subject to interludes of Russian/Soviet and
German rule. Since the restoration of Estonia’s independence in 1991, economic
and political changes have been rapid. A parliamentary democracy, Estonia in 1998
earned the title of “Europe’s purest free market economy”. Estonia joined the
European Union on 1 May 2004, and, in the words of one official, now aspires to
be “just another boring Nordic country.” Estonia identifies strongly with Scandinavia
because of close cultural, linguistic, and economic ties with Finland, and historical
links with Sweden and Denmark.
The Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen proposed a city plan for 1913 Tallinn, which
exerted a hidden influence during the 50 years of Soviet occupation. Soviet-era
migrants were accommodated in housing blocks which appear austere today.
Estonians, in contrast, found it difficult to find housing, which may have contributed
to the rapid decline of their birth rate. Russian and Estonian districts still remain
largely separated, in effect making Tallinn “one city, two towns.” With a population
of 430,000, the city continues to confront the problem of integrating its Russian
population, along with challenges of intense tourism, privatization of property,
increased demands for housing, and the restructuring of open-space planning.
Rapid economic and cultural changes have shaped planning priorities and progress
in Tallinn, and have left the city with a physical imprint of its history -- and likely future.Deposited by Jennifer Perkins (jennperk@umich.edu) on 16-Aug-2006 14:46:46 (GMT)

This study examined the effects of groundwater on the distribution of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Topanga Creek, a small coastal stream in Los Angeles County, California. Water quality was monitored in Topanga Creek and in surface discharge from 20 springs on a monthly basis from April to December 2005. Instream habitat mapping and monthly snorkel surveys were also conducted to determine whether steelhead preferentially selected habitat units with groundwater.
Sixteen percent of habitat units in the Topanga Creek study area received groundwater from known springs. For six out of the nine months of the study, significantly more trout were found in groundwater areas than would be expected by the frequency of such sites. The most likely reason for steelhead to select habitat units with groundwater during this study was differences in habitat between areas with and without groundwater. Habitat units with groundwater had characteristics that were more favorable for steelhead such as greater surface area, greater depth, and higher shelter value. Habitat units with groundwater may also have acted as refugia from high stream temperatures. While there was no significant difference between temperature of the creek and temperature of surface discharge from springs, deep pools were significantly cooler than shallow pools. Water quality in both the creek and springs was sufficiently good for trout throughout the study. These findings suggest that groundwater may play an important role in maintaining steelhead populations near the southern extent of their Pacific coastal rangeDeposited by Jennifer Perkins (jennperk@umich.edu) on 16-Aug-2006 18:00:53 (GMT)
